Going Crazy

The plaintiff says the defendant is a former employee who attacked her and her truck. She’s suing for the cost of the vehicle damage. The defendant says the plaintiff dragged her out of her day care business and hit her with a chair, so she fought back. She denies damaging anything.

I won’t sit here and pretend that I don’t see straight through the plaintiff as well. That young lady was wrong, but BOTH are highly unprofessional.

[@Rantrice]

I definitely can see through the plaintiff.

[@Kamsterdam97]

Yeah I don’t believe that plaintiff either. Either way why would you go to the room to speak with her? She should have pulled her to the side or an office and talked about it. Not automatically assume she was being rude about the late comment.

[@kimberlynatasha7]

Yes!

[@ExceptionalLex]

I also believe she prolly tried to snatch the girl up since she wouldn't leave her house

[@faznout]

In the beginning of the case the plaintiff said her kids were the ones that told her the defendant was scratching her car. So technically the plaintiff never saw the defendant scratching her car and she was going by with her kids were saying while she was on the phone with the police. I don't doubt that the defendant was probably outside having a fit, and who knows maybe she did throw a few things at the lady's car. Which is also kind of strange because the plaintiff never told the judge anything about the defendant throwing things at her car she only spoke of her scratching it. But as Judge Judy often says when you come into court you have to come in with clean hands. Which means you can't do something bad and then point the finger at someone else and say they did something bad too now give me money.

Fair, and I completely agree, but in your own home? I know that if I asked someone to leave my home then I'd want them to leave immediately. However, she has converted her home into a work space as well. I feel like there's a very fine line there... I think contracts should be written up for this exact situation :p

[@dspenderella9671]

@@k0chana6 Small business labor laws still apply regardless of where the business is operated. If she's too unprofessional to separate personal from business, then she shouldn't try to infuse a professional environment within her home, b/c that did not sound like a professional environment. They didn't arrest the young lady for a valid reason; even if she'd caught it on camera showing her trying to physically remove the young lady - just by making physical contact most judges would consider that escalating the situation and told her she should've called the police then to have her removed for trespassing, but touching her provoked a fight - whether workplace or not that could be used against her. People have to stop thinking the law no longer applies in their homes, especially when it's not an intruder and someone they initially invited in. This is why a lot of people are in prison now for what transpired in their homes.

I believe the young lady scratched her car but I also think the plaintiff was more wrong. First off, don’t put your hands on an employee. EVER! Secondly, when she called 911, she conveniently left that part out about her initiating contact. Then, she expects you to be at work when she wants, but can’t even be professional enough to give you a weekly schedule. She’s an unprofessional passive aggressive employer. That’s why she works her kids for free. Who would want to work for someone like her? Ugh. I totally believe that the young lady would’ve left if she told her to. Like she said, she didn’t care at that point. Young people don’t care about getting sent home early from work. They’re like, “BYE!”

[@ljackson24]

@Hades She wasn’t fired at that point. They never said that during the case. But again, I believe that if she’d asked the young lady to leave, she would’ve gladly left. You are free to insert details into the case that weren’t discussed. I’m just addressing what was disclosed.

[@LeeoGoneWild]

She was texting her the schedule, which is something you cant just tell verbally. The judge was stating the text back, “oh well, I’m just going to be late,” should have been said in person to avoid miscommunication. Through text it sounded very condescending, that she didn’t care, but perhaps in person, it would have sounded better like how she stated it in court, “it’s difficult for me to find transportation short notice, so I apologize if I am late” something to that nature. It’s as if people aren’t even understand the 15 minute video they are watching on here.

[@MBCrusin]

I don’t know about this one. I think whenever there’s a younger defendant or plaintiff everyone assumes they are wrong I do think the girl scratched her car. She’s absolutely wrong for that. But I believe her story on how the fight was started. Older people (in my culture) tend to talk to people like their sub humans. I believe that lady got mad after the girl went off walked up on her to escort her out using her hands. I don’t think she asked her to leave, she was mad the girl went off and wanted to assert her dominance and got slapped. That’s it. And for judge Milian to scold her for texting, if I’m not mistaken it was the lady who texted her first with the list and asking her why she was late. She simply responded to the text.

I think she was more so trying to impress upon her that with text message, the “tone” and intention are left to individual interpretation, whereas when saying something face-to-face, it’s much easier to judge exactly *how* someone intended a comment to come across. If she was going to keep working there she could have still texted the thing about being late from time-to-time, just to protect herself.

They act like they momma and child more than employer and employee. smh Don't hire folks that you let get too familiar enough to yell "you gone lose your license". That's serious.

The case is not about the fight, the young lady being late, or the boss' mishandling of the schedule. It's about a car being keyed/scratched. Period.

Uh actually the back story does kinda affect the possibility of whether defendant did or did not damage the plaintiffs car because if we believe the plaintiff then the defendant was definitely angry enough to cause the damage but if the defendants is true then why the hell would she be angry enough to damage the plaintiffs car because she's basically getting a free day off duh. Also why the hell would she want to force the defendant out especially since she's doesn't even have a ride home yet and who knows how long it will take for the person(who I don't know could be working) who usually picks her to even get there though I can understand leaving her outside long enough for her to calm down but not for how long it will probably take for her ride to get there.

I would think her making the statement that police were necessary prior to her approaching the young lady is a very telling sign.

But sure, the young lady used the word “just” so she’s definitely the worse one of the bunch.
